Full disclosure? I did not like this movie. Even when I saw the preview for this movie I was not impressed. I had little to no expectations and the "no expectations" part was met. What success this movie did achieve, financially and critically, had to have been solely based on the merits of Steven Spielberg. It's nice that he has worked his way into the position, and rightfully so, that he can do what projects he likes and wants, but this was a miss. What little expectations I did have was that it was Steven Spielberg which means this would at least be well made, high production value. Even that was disappointing. Sometimes brilliant, but more often than not I was wondering where the lighting people were. And for all the talking that was done to the horse, the main character in the movie, he was not much of a character. I'm not expecting him to talk, smile, wink, dance, sing, or anything like that, but a horse with a personality would have been appreciated. I certainly liked the idea of the movie, following the horse's story and how it intertwines and makes full circle, but it was just, and I can't believe I'm about to say this about a Steven Spielberg directed film, poorly executed.
